[Q] Bluetooth connection problems

My phone will connect to my bluetooth device, but there won't be any audio going to it at first. I have to turn off bluetooth and then turn it back on for it to work properly. I must do this everytime.
Also, each bluetooth device use to save the volume levels. For instance when it's connected to my car it will be max volume, but when it's connected to my headphones it will be at the level I set it at from before. It no longer does that.
Any reason why?

No WiFi when paired with BT speaker

Hi,
I have a problem with my WiFi connection when I'm connected to a Bluetooth Speaker or Headphones.
The strange part of the matter is, when I remove my car (bmw 1 series) from my paired BT devices (it's only paired not connected at the same time as the BT speaker is) , WiFi connection and audio via a BT speaker are possible.
As soon as I have paired my phone with my car again (although the car is not in reaching distance to the phone) the problem is there again.
Can someone imagine what causes this error?
I'm getting tired of removing and re-pairing my car every time I want to use a BT audio device and WiFi at the same time.
I have a rooted 930F with stock 6.0.1 firmware.

Multiple bluetooth connections?

Is it just more or can you only have one bluetooth connected device at a time?
On my S7, it would not be issue to have the Gear S3 and my car audio connected that same time. Or I could have a bluetooth speaker and another audio device connected without issue..
Just me or others as well?
I can connect smartwatch, GPS navigator and car audio system at same time.

Bluetooth audio cuts out, requires disconnect to resume

I can't think how to describe this without just launching into what happens.
In the morning I connect my bluetooth earbuds and listen to a podcast while walking around the house getting ready. When I get in the car, I turn the earbuds off and connect my phone to the Android Auto capable head unit, via USB. After arriving at my parking spot, I turn the car off, disconnect the USB, and turn the earbuds back on. Usually at this point I have to tap the volume up button in order to hear anything (I suspect because when nothing is connected, I keep the media volume muted, and the phone gets confused swapping from AA [which I think uses bluetooth for audio] to nothing to bluetooth). I then walk the rest of the way to work, usually taking about 10 minutes.
Nearly every day, just as I arrive at work or after I get into the building, the audio cuts out. The only way to get it to resume is to completely power off the earbuds and power it back on. Occasionally I have to go through re-pairing, even. I've had this experience with two different bluetooth devices from different brands (JayBird and Jabra).
Any ideas? :/
Are you paired with any devices in the building and do you disconnect the bluetooth from the devices before leaving proximity?.
Bluetooth will try to connect to a device if the signal was dropped instead of disconnected. If 2 devices are in the area Bluetooth seems to go cuckoo if the have existing dropped connections. You're not alone. My obd2 and smart watch constantly have fights with each other over my phone. It's a pain.

I don't have any paired devices anywhere near me when the audio cuts out. The only paired devices I have are:
Bluetooth control button (in car)
JayBird BlueBuds X (at home)
My car head unit (in car)
Jabra Elite Sport (in use at the time)
So I would say I am some 500m away from the nearest paired device when the audio cuts out.

Can I connect two bluetooth devices at the same time?

I want to connect my bluetooth headphones AND my bluetooth heart rate monitor to my phone AT THE SAME TIME. Is that possible? How do I do that?
